Post the coolest cars youve seen on the street. Not at a car show or professional event, just cruising on the streets.
I got the idea for this topic when a few hours ago when I tunrned around and to see this beautiful black Laborghini Gallardo :shock:
It was so awesome and i just couldnt stop staring at its beauty. :D
And then we turned the corner and I died.

It would probably have to be this yellow convertible Viper i saw like 5 years ago in Helsinki.
At least nothing better comes to mind atm...

Now I didn't see this car, but my mom saw a Green Murci. speeding and then I saw a black Ferrari *I think it was a 360* heading to a Mcdonalds. :lol:
We rarely have those cars, but we do have lots of Corvettes, BMWS, Muscle Cars, and some ricers who race on the hollow straight road. :lol: My uncle Carl *dads side of family* has a muscle and he likes to play around with it.

a yellow Ferrari F355 pininfarina 8) 8) 8)

It was parked near my home. I think he spent all his money on the car since he has no money to buy a garage :D

I've seen an RX8 a couple of times, which is all but unbelievable up here at the arctic circle... Not many "super" cars around here. Lately there has a been an increasing amount of low-cost tuners though, mostly just rice I would think, big spoilers and things of that nature.

I've seen a few as well: Worked a while at the national Ferrari and Morgan importeur...soo seen a lot of those + some jags and other snacks there.
In Germany on the Nürburgring, at Oldtimer GP i must've seen almost every car worth seeing thats made pre 1965...racing! Trackside I have seen a ton of F40s, 288 GTOs, 250 GTOs, Diablos, EB110 SS, Countachs andi saw Porsches until my eyes bled! The one I remember the most must be the David Piper 250 LM that almost made me deaf, since it was revving up and i was standing like 10 cms away from the pipes.....OMG what a sound that was! -Edit- I must not forget the Dahlbäck Golf 4...that is one massive ride!

you mean a Jaguar S-type R :wink: It's not a Honda.)I know they are not the only one to use the Type R system in the past, Jag is not one of them)

The most beautifull car I seen close up on the streets was a black Lamborgini Murcielago in St. Tropez (southcoast of france)

Seen alot of exotics around there, The south of France is Exotic car paradise (Monaco, St Tropez, Cannes etc)
Also seen a Ferarri Enzo and a black Murcielago on a trailer going passed near my town.
won't name all cause it would be a big list.

I did drive a BMW M3 (2003 model) in a cycling tour (as sort of pace car, but then behid the riders) was pretty cool cause I had to wait a while before I could start and I had to stop sometimes to help etc) I could legally speed :D

Lemme see, I've seen a decent variety of exotics (even ridden in a Viper and 911). Once when I was on delivery, I saw a Maserati Quattroporte, and a few days ago, I saw the Maserati Coupe (tried to catch up with it, but, well, I've only got the Escort). But more importantly, because I live in Windsor (which is right across from Detroit), I've seen a decent variety of pre-production cars. Off the top of my head, I've seen the Jeep Commander, '06 Ford Explorer, the next Explorer Sport Trac, the Dodge Caliber, something wearing the body of a Chrysler Sebring (IIRC, it was a little higher off the ground, and it was wearing the typical cammoflage, so I doubt it was a regular Sebring), and the Chrysler 300 Touring (the wagon that's sold in Europe - only really special because it's not sold here).

Oh, and my best friend's dad has a '28 Ford he's hotrodded. He figures it weighs about 2800lbs, but it's got a Ford 302 that he's done a bit of work to, so it's pretty quick.

Lucky man Stig
I want a newer M3, but I cant afford any more on my insurance, cant afford 26k for one and cant afford even worse fuel consumption than my '99 evo

It's a futuristic Dodge Viper from the tv show called "Viper". Similar to Knight Rider.
